Now living in Paris,since September 2017.

Hometown Chang bai Mountain,Jilin(north east of China near the border of China and North Korea---1200km from Beijing,1.5hours flight)Well known for the nature,skiing,hiking,hot spring and hospitality of the people!!!

As a only child grew up in the woods(we are close enough to say hi to our neighbor -North Korea people)started going to boarding school at the age of 10,has a very optimistic view of my life. Sharing,caring and also think positively!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel solo,because I want to make new friends and collect some new stories,Experience local life with local friends and share each other’s stories, I have many :)

In Chinese we have a saying ( my mom also says a lot):Qiong jia fu lu穷家富路 (meaning is be thrifty at home and spend liberally while traveling)!So I am traveling on couch surfing not only because the free commendation(I appreciate of course),most importantly is to know the world better by understanding the people and be generous,be kind,and keep in touch with the friends that once shared nice traveling experiences with,who knows,the world is small,we will always meet again.By then I will say an other Chinese saying said by Confucius 2500years ago:YOU PENG ZI YUAN FANG LAI,BU YI LE HU(有朋自远方来不亦乐乎) means it's such a delight to have friends coming from afar!

I live in Paris now,so welcome you visiting Paris!
